Description
Using virtual device contexts (VDCs) and Network Interface Virtualization (NIV), Cisco Nexus 5000 and 7000 Series Switches allow you to lower complexity and cost of ownership of data center network and storage resources. In this course, you will learn about the virtualization capabilities of Cisco Nexus 7000 and 5000 Series Switches. You will also explore the configuration of VDCs and FEX operations. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for Cisco exam 640-916: Introducing Cisco Data Center Technologies.
